	⚡ 6:24am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "3ndlss" by "John Duncan" wow
	6:37am Toothgrinder Tom: ↳ Song: "Somewhat Bleecker Street" by "Algebra Suicide" Love her snarky, suburban ‘accent’ if that’s the right word.
	6:39am Brian D: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @6:37 From Chicago. Described by DJ Sara A as a "Midwestern twang."
	6:41am LiXiviated Life: If you don’t know , vote no? Smells so Orwellian. ( ie Ministry of Information )
	6:41am Brian D: ↳ LiXiviated Life @6:41 Right. As opposed to KNOWING before voting.
	6:44am Toothgrinder Tom: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @6:37 Should read ‘snarly’ not ‘snarky.’
	6:51am fred: Good morning Brian and listeners
	6:51am pp: new tongue twister. say "vote for the voice" in a row. same category as "toy boat" over and over 😉
	6:53am Brian D: ↳ pp @6:51 NOTHING is easy for me to say.
	6:53am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:51 Good morning Fred!
	6:56am Bort Simpson: Brian, you ain't a pro but you're all heart and that matters
	6:56am rich in angleton: good morning Brian! ah a Rowland S Howard cover to start my Saturday. can't do much better than that.
	6:56am fred: There was an Australian listener on a board who said he'd vote Yes but was unhappy with both the content and the campaign for the amendment
	6:56am Brian D: ↳ Bort Simpson @6:56 Thanks Bort. I try. Hello Rich!
	⚡ 6:57am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Brian D @6:41 The message (and successful strategy) of the conservatives (LNP) is to call on the electorate to stay dumb and be proud of it (cf. MAGA in the U.S.). The issue that plays lambent over this referendum is that of land. Private landed property stamped indelibly upon the continent by the European (British) settlers/invaders destroyed the indigenous way of life. The Australian constitution does not recognize the Aborigines as the continent's original inhabitants. Until the early 1990s the legal fiction was that the continent was "terra nullius", i.e. that the land belonged to no one at the time of settlement/invasion and therefore could be claimed as Crown land.
	6:58am LiXiviated Life: “I’ve been contemplating suicide “ ?? Come on Brian, It’s Saturday morning , not even 7:00 AM yet. At least wait till we’ve had a cup of coffee. Seriously this is what drives listeners to NPR 😁
	6:58am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:56 Yes, that seemed to a fairly common critique. I think many supporters saw it as better than nothing, but only just.
	6:59am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:57 Agree on all fronts, Michael.
	6:59am Brian D: ↳ LiXiviated Life @6:58 Lix, NPR would have me contemplating suicide...
	⚡ 6:59am tom tom the pipers son: australian vote www.theguardian.com...
	7:00am Toothgrinder Tom: ↳ Brian D @6:59 Ha ha, so true.
	7:02am ?: ↳ Brian D @6:59 "It's just a reflection of how much dishonesty we have accepted in our daily lives. We are raised from birth to believe things that cannot be proven or that are plainly not true. People will often brag of their honesty, when there is so much they have simply chosen to ignore or leave unexamined. The fact is, we are terrified of the truth."
	7:03am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:59 This just in. Thanks Tom Tom.
	7:07am dale: morning. is ww3 yet?
	7:07am john_zilla: morning all
	⚡ 7:08am Don in Tampere: At first I wondered if this was the Finnish band Apocalyptica. But if it were them, it would probably sound more metal. This is a really great interpretation!
	7:09am Brian D: Dale... John... Agree, Don.
	7:09am Brian D: ↳ @7:02 Belated "well said."
	7:18am Stanley: I spent six months in Darfur in the eighties. The people were amazing; kind, gentle, tolerant, happy and welcoming. It breaks my heart to see what has been happening in recent times. Good morning Brian.
	7:20am Brian D: ↳ Stanley @7:18 Hello Stanley. Yes, I have a friend who used to work for the UN and was there about 15 years ago. Horrifying.
	⚡ 7:21am tom tom the pipers son: spoke with the young palestinian woman i chat with at supermarket about what was going on in her home country, she said that the treatment of palestinians (ie. palestinians getting pushed out of palestine) was prophesied in a sacred text and that one day there would be a palestine, but it would take a long time, which on the one hand is magical thinking and to be expected in circumstances as dire as the one happening, and otoh might turn out to be true.
	7:25am LiXiviated Life: What is news There is an event There is an action There is an occurrence Everything that follows is Rashomon
	7:28am LiXiviated Life: I’m not entirely sure this guy completely understands the Higgs field. (but I guess it sounds cool)
	7:29am Brian D: ↳ LiXiviated Life @7:28 That makes two of us, Lix.
	⚡ 7:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Higgs Boson Blues" by "Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds" echoing sister morphine to me
	7:33am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:29 I hear that, now that you mention it.
	7:34am Andrea C: Everyone, everyone is so clear! Hello everyone. Everyone is so listening to WFMU, and so am I.
	7:36am fred: ↳ Song: "The National Anthem" by "Radiohead" I still like this record
	7:37am Juli: Notsure how others don't like Radiohead
	7:37am Juli: Iceage coming ice age coming
	⚡ 7:38am tom tom the pipers son: i never listened to radiohead much for no particular reason, that was really excellent
	7:38am LiXiviated Life: Ok folks, I am taking my acquired mass and joining the living. I’ll be listening, so behave yourselves
	7:39am Juli: I knew a member of the casualties I insulted his hair once::::feel bad about that lol
	7:39am Juli: I was working at the coffee shop he liked and I said "One for you one for your hair" lol giving him his coffee I was stoned and thought it was cute lol
	7:41am Juli: Any one remember Sweet Priscillas? IN Jersey City
	7:41am Cooh John: Nice twin spin. Seems to be a groove the planet is stuck in.
	7:42am Dan S: ↳ Juli @7:39 Amusing little story. Hi, Juli.
	⚡ 7:42am tom tom the pipers son: in addition to aussie news www.nytimes.com...
	7:43am Dan S: ↳ Song: "War Pigs" by "The Casualties of Jazz" This has me thinking about the words of the Black Sabbath original. I've been thinking about and listening to a lot of songs about war and conflict lately.
	7:44am Brian D: ↳ Juli @7:39 I've heard worse, to be fair, Juli.
	7:45am Strandlund: ↳ Song: "War Pigs" by "The Casualties of Jazz" Good Morning Brian and all those tuned in...I love this version of War Pigs
	7:45am Dan: Subbing jr. High, I always start with Ironman. My sub alter ego. Or Danco
	7:45am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:42 Saw that coming...
	7:46am Brian D: ↳ Dan S @7:43 Wonder why it's top of mind? (sarcasm) Good morning, Dan.
	7:46am fred: ↳ Juli @7:37 To each their own, really. What annoys me is the ones who claim to despise Radiohead and Björk as "fake corporate brands"
	7:46am Brian D: ↳ Strandlund @7:45 Greetings, Strand.
	7:47am Dan: Good morning one-and-all. Gloomy here, I hope to rehang the painted shutters today.
	7:47am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:46 Is that a "thing?"
	7:48am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:47 On some playlists it is once in a while
	7:49am Dan: Funny, yesterdays artist of the week was Jyork, “It’s Not Up To You” (7th graders, tune of the day. They giggled, only at beginning, then sang along.
	7:50am Dan S: ↳ Brian D @7:46 Good morning, Brian. One thing I noticed in my listening is that almost all the songs are anti-war. There are very few pro-war songs out there. Is that just my taste in music? I choose to see it as a hopeful sign. We need all the hopeful signs we can find right now.
	7:50am Dan: Here, it’s country music or nothing.
	⚡ 7:50am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Another Side" by "Woods" like this, densely packed...;)
	7:51am Juli: ↳ Dan @7:49 Cute!
	7:51am Brian D: ↳ Dan S @7:50 Maybe something by Kid Rock?
	7:52am Dan: I’ll say, after what happened a week ago. Today there’s an eclipse 10:20 CT
	7:52am Juli: Bjork & Radiohead were my senior year
	7:53am Dan: Perfect combo platter Juli
	7:53am Dan S: ↳ Brian D @7:51 Yeah, you can find them, but they're distinctly in the minority.
	7:54am Juli: Last night my dreams were weird::: We were traing someone to fight for us:::I was on top of a really tall car my father was driving home:::felt unsafe:::then armor dude appeared in front of in describing his armor:::: Dreams are my favorite time of day almost lol
	7:55am Juli: No dreams are boring unless the person is boring lol
	7:55am Dan: The stars & bars kid rock backdrop turned me off big time, also the flip flops with it he was selling.
	7:57am Dan: Lenard Skinard had the same backdrop
	⚡ 7:57am tom tom the pipers son: 'eyeless in gaza' ... has anybody read it?
	7:57am Dan: Spell check loves that band
	7:58am Juli: The solution for work peace is easy:::it starts w you loving everyone
	7:59am Juli: Leading by example is infectious
	7:59am Dan: No, but it’s been mentioned here before I think. I have to track that down.
	7:59am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:57 No... Recommend it?
	7:59am Dan: I concur J
	8:00am fred: ↳ Dan S @7:53 Maybe it's because peace songs have more lasting power, whereas most pro-war songs require a current (no pun intended) enemy. There might be serious pro-war in the abstract songs, maybe Micah knows?
	⚡ 8:00am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:59 haven't read, was actually looking for an opinion on it
	8:00am morphe': ↳ Juli @7:55 Dreams... Usually go to bed at 1-2 am and awake betwixt 5-6 [not for the toilet] .. put on BBC news and read the papers and fall asleep again until about 8 ... the dreams betwixt 6-7-8 are or have become so bizarre ... usually just odd but sometimes menacing situations with strangers.. might have to do with all of the previous bad news ingested...
	8:01am Juli: ↳ morphe' @8:00 Yes each dream is a lesson.!!!
	8:01am kevlicki: Morning Brian and all. Solidarity and peace to all of you
	8:02am pp: Baila is on the WFMU hit list. 3rd time heard it. infectious
	8:02am morphe': ↳ Song: "Headless in Gaza" by "Indian Jewelry" Milton: "Eyeless in Gaza Bound to the mill* with slaves..." * the mill being the stone mill grinding grains in unison = donkey work...
	8:03am Juli: This song is infectious:::}
	8:03am Dan S: ↳ fred @8:00 Perhaps. We'll see what he plays on the next Music of Mind Control.
	8:03am Dan: Yea, spilled my 2nd cup of jump juice
	8:05am Dan: No, you called it right, B!
	8:06am morphe': ↳ Song: "Loose Threads" by "Pram" The photo attached to the song makes me think of the person/people who invented a water pump/well for arid parts of Africa which is powered by children playing on push merry go rounds they use in the village playgrounds or outside of schools
	8:06am Dan: That juxtaposition of wild color and suffering in the images
	8:09am AYAYRON: Supported the Hellraiser yesterday! WFMU is the best!
	8:10am pp: also Eyeless in Gaza novel by Aldous Huxley "title of book, recalls the biblical story of Samson; captured by Philistines, his eyes were burned out and taken to Gaza, where he was forced to work at grinding grain." -- same as it ever was
	8:10am Dan S: Yes, Support WFMU! I'm planning to go to the Record Fair this afternoon.
	8:11am fred: ↳ Dan S @8:03 Obvious blind spot on display here (despite the helpful Rariohead hint): check out the French national anthem for an actual bloodthirsty song
	8:11am Handy Haversack: ↳ Dan S @8:10 I'll be there volunteering at the WFMU LPs table! Also: hello, Brian and all!
	8:13am Dan S: ↳ fred @8:11 That is true. I only recently heard an English translation of those lyrics. Another example I thought of is "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." Talk about a call for a Holy War!
	8:15am Brian D: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:11 Hello Handy! I'll be volunteering at the Fair on Sunday, myself.
	8:15am Juli: I save the little of spiders::::}
	⚡ 8:16am tom tom the pipers son: @brian: btw did you ever take a look at 'design and crime'...
	8:17am Dan S: ↳ fred @8:11 Another one that comes to mind is The Decembrists "This is why we fight." I can't decide whether to take it literally or ironically.
	8:17am Handy Haversack: ↳ Brian D @8:15 Me too! K8 and I will be at the $1 LP table Sun. afternoon. Figure I'll do my shopping Sunday, too, since it's going to pour today.
	8:18am MarginWalker in Baltimore: 👋🥸
	8:18am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:16 Not yet. But it's still on my to-do list!
	8:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~Good ♄Saturday FMUvianz~
	8:18am Brian D: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:17 You'll be taking over for me! I'll be there until 1 pm.
	8:19am Handy Haversack: ↳ Brian D @8:18 Oh, excellent! See you then!
	8:20am morphe': A WFMU transitional moment !!! Avatar Swag For Life Member @8:18 ↑ → Brian D: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:17 You'll be taking over for me! I'll be there until 1 pm. Avatar Swag For Life Member Pledged to WFMU @8:19 ↑ Handy Haversack: ↳ Brian D @8:18 Oh, excellent! See you then!
	8:22am fred: ↳ morphe' @8:20 You locals better be around to buy stuff or they might break into a song and dance musical bit
	8:22am Handy Haversack: Planning on the "Trust us. It's music." T-shirt for the $1 LPs table. That's called salesmanship.
	8:25am MarginWalker in Baltimore: I'd love to attend, but the commute is a bit much, especially considering I don't really have anything to spend at the moment😅
	8:25am fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:22 I got a second copy of this, never know when a TV crew might show up at work on short notice. The "Eat flaming death fascist media pigs" works to drive them away, but I need options
	8:27am SoCar Ken: Sounds like a dragging cassette
	8:27am Dan S: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:17 I hope it's not raining too hard when I make my way to Maspeth today. I also hope the roof of the Knockdown Center doesn't leak, LOL!
	8:27am Toothgrinder Tom: ↳ Dan S @7:50 Wagner’s ‘Ride of the Valkyries’ comes to mind (due to ‘Apocslypse Now’).
	8:28am Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @8:25 Ha, that's what I'm wearing today! And, yes, I wear one or the other for all local news / photo op occasions. Great minds, fred.
	8:29am morphe': ↳ Song: "Heed the Warning" by "Les Thanes" Macbeth... the Thane of Glamis Polanski's Macbeth is well worth watching
	⚡ 8:29am Will thee Sound Guy: Good morning Brian and all!!!
	8:30am Brian D: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @8:29 Hello Will!
	8:30am Toothgrinder Tom: ↳ morphe' @8:29 If I’m not mistaken, doesn’t Francesca Annis bare it all in that one?
	8:30am StringOFperils: Good morning Brian D and riders of the great derange
	8:32am Brian D: ↳ StringOFperils @8:30 Greetings, String.
	8:33am fred: ↳ Dan S @8:27 The "roof" of my workplace (it's underground, so more like a ground level veranda) does leak. Sometimes there's a radio interview going on, and sound people know where to put the console, though someone once commented live about it. The buckets have to be removed for TV shots, puddles are less visible but that makes for a big mess later
	8:33am Juli: ::::} Heading to the dentist soonish then home to finish film hopefully::::}
	⚡ 8:37am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Fables of the Silverlink" by "The Clientele" that riff... so familiar
	8:37am Bonnie Prince Jamie: This Clientele album - my record of the year so far
	8:39am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning Brian & all!
	8:40am Juli: Happy Saturday!
	⚡ 8:41am Will thee Sound Guy: ↳ fred @8:33 sounds like a nightmare... good that they know where it comes out from the ceiling tho
	8:41am Brian D: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @8:39 Hey Greg!
	8:43am fred: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @8:41 The good thing is that despite being underground, I know whether it is raining outside
	8:43am Robm: ↳ Juli @8:40 morning juli hope you have a great weekend
	8:44am owenm: Fables of the Silverlink!! What a thing of beauty. 🥰
	8:44am StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Fables of the Silverlink" by "The Clientele" Thumbs up, for The Clientele. I like their older material as well; there's a lot of musical exploration going on beneath the sweet pop surface.
	8:46am Brian D: ↳ StringOFperils @8:44 Isn't it lovely?
	8:47am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Atomic" by "Blondie" An' wi' tha', young Renton had fallen in love.
	8:47am Juli: Ty DJ!!! Lovely way to wake up!
	⚡ 8:48am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Atomic" by "Blondie" molroder -esque synth
	8:50am fred: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @8:41 Knowing the place is important, often an outside engineer wants to move the console, and when he's told why it's a bad idea he gets real stressed out
	8:51am sydnius: Been lurkin Thanks Brian! /lurk
	⚡ 8:52am tom tom the pipers son: thanks, brian!
	8:52am Juli: Getting all fancy for the dentist:::doing a mud mask rn:::: Picking out my outfit lol
	8:53am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Atomic" by "Blondie" It's been long enough since Trainspotting that pop culture can use the song again? I dunno ... Trainspotting seems iconic still to me.
	8:53am Dan S: ↳ Song: "Clip: WION-NASA launches 16 Psyche probe" I'd favorite this one if I could.
	8:54am fred: ↳ Juli @8:52 Don't distract the dentist!
	8:54am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Brian! Glad to have tuned in!
	8:54am morphe': ↳ Song: "Adam & Eve" by "The Boneheads" In Milton's "Paradise Lost" = Milton did not blame Eve .
	8:54am Juli: Lol they are very nice Indian ladies they love talking about what I look like lol
	⚡ 8:54am WR: Thank you for the morning news and views.
	8:55am Brian D: Hey all, thank you so much for joining me this week. Stay safe and have a great week. Pledge to WFMU. Hope to see some of you at the Record Fair tomorrow.
	8:56am ?: In the tall building Sit the head of our nations Worthy men from Spain and Siam All day discussions with the Russians But they still went ahead and vetoed the plan Now up jumped the U.S. representative He's the one with the tired eyes 747 put him in that condition Flyin' back from a peace keepin' mission And so it goes and so it goes And so it goes and so it goes But where it's goin', no one knows And so it goes and so it goes And so it goes and so it goes But where it's goin', no one knows
	8:56am sydnius: ↳ Juli @8:54 huh my fabulous dentist is also of similar origin. I don’t like to ask exactitudes for the same reason I never ask women I don’t know when the baby is due.
	8:56am morphe': Thanks BD and all !!! Can't make the Record Fair ... Enjoy all except the butt crack and the scent of Campbell's chicken noodle soup .. which is not on sale... just wafting about ...
	8:56am Dan S: ↳ Brian D @8:55 Thanks for the excellent show today, Brian. Everybody, have a great day!
	8:57am Juli: ↳ sydnius @8:56 Never ask when the baby is due :::} Because sum times they aren't pregnant
	8:57am Dan S: ↳ Juli @8:52 I hope it's just a routine exam/cleaning and nothing painful.
	8:57am Juli: Isn't nice:::anyway be nice everyone:: It's worthwhile:::}
	8:58am sydnius: 👃🏻👉🏻👀
	8:58am ?: ↳ Song: "The Sun Is Shining Now" by "Sandy Salisbury and C... I like pie

	6:05am Cooh John: Good morning Brian and current eventers. Clouds to obscure the eclipse for me. Happy eclipse to all.🌙
	6:08am Brian D: Greetings all. Tom Tom... Cooh...
	⚡ 6:08am Michael of Cologne: High noon greetings, Brian, Tom Tom et al. from cloudy Cologne.
	6:08am Aaron Working In Newark: Good Morning!
	6:09am Brian D: Michael! Aaron!
	⚡ 6:10am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:08 good afternoon michael...
	6:13am London Calling Francky: Morning/Afternoon Brian and all Currentists! Good vibey start to the show, thank you!!
	⚡ 6:15am Don in Tampere: Hi Brian and all! I'm housecleaning so won't be doing much chatting, but it's good to hear you. I made a joint donation for Sunrise Lamentations and Currents this morning. Keep up the great programming!
	6:18am Brian D: Greetings LCF! And thank you, Don. Great to "see" you this morning.
	⚡ 6:24am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "3ndlss" by "John Duncan" wow
	6:37am Toothgrinder Tom: ↳ Song: "Somewhat Bleecker Street" by "Algebra Suicide" Love her snarky, suburban ‘accent’ if that’s the right word.
	6:39am Brian D: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @6:37 From Chicago. Described by DJ Sara A as a "Midwestern twang."
	6:41am LiXiviated Life: If you don’t know , vote no? Smells so Orwellian. ( ie Ministry of Information )
	6:41am Brian D: ↳ LiXiviated Life @6:41 Right. As opposed to KNOWING before voting.
	6:44am Toothgrinder Tom: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @6:37 Should read ‘snarly’ not ‘snarky.’
	6:51am fred: Good morning Brian and listeners
	6:51am pp: new tongue twister. say "vote for the voice" in a row. same category as "toy boat" over and over 😉
	6:53am Brian D: ↳ pp @6:51 NOTHING is easy for me to say.
	6:53am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:51 Good morning Fred!
	6:56am Bort Simpson: Brian, you ain't a pro but you're all heart and that matters
	6:56am rich in angleton: good morning Brian! ah a Rowland S Howard cover to start my Saturday. can't do much better than that.
	6:56am fred: There was an Australian listener on a board who said he'd vote Yes but was unhappy with both the content and the campaign for the amendment
	6:56am Brian D: ↳ Bort Simpson @6:56 Thanks Bort. I try. Hello Rich!
	⚡ 6:57am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Brian D @6:41 The message (and successful strategy) of the conservatives (LNP) is to call on the electorate to stay dumb and be proud of it (cf. MAGA in the U.S.). The issue that plays lambent over this referendum is that of land. Private landed property stamped indelibly upon the continent by the European (British) settlers/invaders destroyed the indigenous way of life. The Australian constitution does not recognize the Aborigines as the continent's original inhabitants. Until the early 1990s the legal fiction was that the continent was "terra nullius", i.e. that the land belonged to no one at the time of settlement/invasion and therefore could be claimed as Crown land.
	6:58am LiXiviated Life: “I’ve been contemplating suicide “ ?? Come on Brian, It’s Saturday morning , not even 7:00 AM yet. At least wait till we’ve had a cup of coffee. Seriously this is what drives listeners to NPR 😁
	6:58am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:56 Yes, that seemed to a fairly common critique. I think many supporters saw it as better than nothing, but only just.
	6:59am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:57 Agree on all fronts, Michael.
	6:59am Brian D: ↳ LiXiviated Life @6:58 Lix, NPR would have me contemplating suicide...
	⚡ 6:59am tom tom the pipers son: australian vote www.theguardian.com...
	7:00am Toothgrinder Tom: ↳ Brian D @6:59 Ha ha, so true.
	7:02am ?: ↳ Brian D @6:59 "It's just a reflection of how much dishonesty we have accepted in our daily lives. We are raised from birth to believe things that cannot be proven or that are plainly not true. People will often brag of their honesty, when there is so much they have simply chosen to ignore or leave unexamined. The fact is, we are terrified of the truth."
	7:03am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:59 This just in. Thanks Tom Tom.
	7:07am dale: morning. is ww3 yet?
	7:07am john_zilla: morning all
	⚡ 7:08am Don in Tampere: At first I wondered if this was the Finnish band Apocalyptica. But if it were them, it would probably sound more metal. This is a really great interpretation!
	7:09am Brian D: Dale... John... Agree, Don.
	7:09am Brian D: ↳ @7:02 Belated "well said."
	7:18am Stanley: I spent six months in Darfur in the eighties. The people were amazing; kind, gentle, tolerant, happy and welcoming. It breaks my heart to see what has been happening in recent times. Good morning Brian.
	7:20am Brian D: ↳ Stanley @7:18 Hello Stanley. Yes, I have a friend who used to work for the UN and was there about 15 years ago. Horrifying.
	⚡ 7:21am tom tom the pipers son: spoke with the young palestinian woman i chat with at supermarket about what was going on in her home country, she said that the treatment of palestinians (ie. palestinians getting pushed out of palestine) was prophesied in a sacred text and that one day there would be a palestine, but it would take a long time, which on the one hand is magical thinking and to be expected in circumstances as dire as the one happening, and otoh might turn out to be true.
	7:25am LiXiviated Life: What is news There is an event There is an action There is an occurrence Everything that follows is Rashomon
	7:28am LiXiviated Life: I’m not entirely sure this guy completely understands the Higgs field. (but I guess it sounds cool)
	7:29am Brian D: ↳ LiXiviated Life @7:28 That makes two of us, Lix.
	⚡ 7:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Higgs Boson Blues" by "Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds" echoing sister morphine to me
	7:33am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:29 I hear that, now that you mention it.
	7:34am Andrea C: Everyone, everyone is so clear! Hello everyone. Everyone is so listening to WFMU, and so am I.
	7:36am fred: ↳ Song: "The National Anthem" by "Radiohead" I still like this record
	7:37am Juli: Notsure how others don't like Radiohead
	7:37am Juli: Iceage coming ice age coming
	⚡ 7:38am tom tom the pipers son: i never listened to radiohead much for no particular reason, that was really excellent
	7:38am LiXiviated Life: Ok folks, I am taking my acquired mass and joining the living. I’ll be listening, so behave yourselves
	7:39am Juli: I knew a member of the casualties I insulted his hair once::::feel bad about that lol
	7:39am Juli: I was working at the coffee shop he liked and I said "One for you one for your hair" lol giving him his coffee I was stoned and thought it was cute lol
	7:41am Juli: Any one remember Sweet Priscillas? IN Jersey City
	7:41am Cooh John: Nice twin spin. Seems to be a groove the planet is stuck in.
	7:42am Dan S: ↳ Juli @7:39 Amusing little story. Hi, Juli.
	⚡ 7:42am tom tom the pipers son: in addition to aussie news www.nytimes.com...
	7:43am Dan S: ↳ Song: "War Pigs" by "The Casualties of Jazz" This has me thinking about the words of the Black Sabbath original. I've been thinking about and listening to a lot of songs about war and conflict lately.
	7:44am Brian D: ↳ Juli @7:39 I've heard worse, to be fair, Juli.
	7:45am Strandlund: ↳ Song: "War Pigs" by "The Casualties of Jazz" Good Morning Brian and all those tuned in...I love this version of War Pigs
	7:45am Dan: Subbing jr. High, I always start with Ironman. My sub alter ego. Or Danco
	7:45am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:42 Saw that coming...
	7:46am Brian D: ↳ Dan S @7:43 Wonder why it's top of mind? (sarcasm) Good morning, Dan.
	7:46am fred: ↳ Juli @7:37 To each their own, really. What annoys me is the ones who claim to despise Radiohead and Björk as "fake corporate brands"
	7:46am Brian D: ↳ Strandlund @7:45 Greetings, Strand.
	7:47am Dan: Good morning one-and-all. Gloomy here, I hope to rehang the painted shutters today.
	7:47am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:46 Is that a "thing?"
	7:48am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:47 On some playlists it is once in a while
	7:49am Dan: Funny, yesterdays artist of the week was Jyork, “It’s Not Up To You” (7th graders, tune of the day. They giggled, only at beginning, then sang along.
	7:50am Dan S: ↳ Brian D @7:46 Good morning, Brian. One thing I noticed in my listening is that almost all the songs are anti-war. There are very few pro-war songs out there. Is that just my taste in music? I choose to see it as a hopeful sign. We need all the hopeful signs we can find right now.
	7:50am Dan: Here, it’s country music or nothing.
	⚡ 7:50am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Another Side" by "Woods" like this, densely packed...;)
	7:51am Juli: ↳ Dan @7:49 Cute!
	7:51am Brian D: ↳ Dan S @7:50 Maybe something by Kid Rock?
	7:52am Dan: I’ll say, after what happened a week ago. Today there’s an eclipse 10:20 CT
	7:52am Juli: Bjork & Radiohead were my senior year
	7:53am Dan: Perfect combo platter Juli
	7:53am Dan S: ↳ Brian D @7:51 Yeah, you can find them, but they're distinctly in the minority.
	7:54am Juli: Last night my dreams were weird::: We were traing someone to fight for us:::I was on top of a really tall car my father was driving home:::felt unsafe:::then armor dude appeared in front of in describing his armor:::: Dreams are my favorite time of day almost lol
	7:55am Juli: No dreams are boring unless the person is boring lol
	7:55am Dan: The stars & bars kid rock backdrop turned me off big time, also the flip flops with it he was selling.
	7:57am Dan: Lenard Skinard had the same backdrop
	⚡ 7:57am tom tom the pipers son: 'eyeless in gaza' ... has anybody read it?
	7:57am Dan: Spell check loves that band
	7:58am Juli: The solution for work peace is easy:::it starts w you loving everyone
	7:59am Juli: Leading by example is infectious
	7:59am Dan: No, but it’s been mentioned here before I think. I have to track that down.
	7:59am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:57 No... Recommend it?
	7:59am Dan: I concur J
	8:00am fred: ↳ Dan S @7:53 Maybe it's because peace songs have more lasting power, whereas most pro-war songs require a current (no pun intended) enemy. There might be serious pro-war in the abstract songs, maybe Micah knows?
	⚡ 8:00am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:59 haven't read, was actually looking for an opinion on it
	8:00am morphe': ↳ Juli @7:55 Dreams... Usually go to bed at 1-2 am and awake betwixt 5-6 [not for the toilet] .. put on BBC news and read the papers and fall asleep again until about 8 ... the dreams betwixt 6-7-8 are or have become so bizarre ... usually just odd but sometimes menacing situations with strangers.. might have to do with all of the previous bad news ingested...
	8:01am Juli: ↳ morphe' @8:00 Yes each dream is a lesson.!!!
	8:01am kevlicki: Morning Brian and all. Solidarity and peace to all of you
	8:02am pp: Baila is on the WFMU hit list. 3rd time heard it. infectious
	8:02am morphe': ↳ Song: "Headless in Gaza" by "Indian Jewelry" Milton: "Eyeless in Gaza Bound to the mill* with slaves..." * the mill being the stone mill grinding grains in unison = donkey work...
	8:03am Juli: This song is infectious:::}
	8:03am Dan S: ↳ fred @8:00 Perhaps. We'll see what he plays on the next Music of Mind Control.
	8:03am Dan: Yea, spilled my 2nd cup of jump juice
	8:05am Dan: No, you called it right, B!
	8:06am morphe': ↳ Song: "Loose Threads" by "Pram" The photo attached to the song makes me think of the person/people who invented a water pump/well for arid parts of Africa which is powered by children playing on push merry go rounds they use in the village playgrounds or outside of schools
	8:06am Dan: That juxtaposition of wild color and suffering in the images
	8:09am AYAYRON: Supported the Hellraiser yesterday! WFMU is the best!
	8:10am pp: also Eyeless in Gaza novel by Aldous Huxley "title of book, recalls the biblical story of Samson; captured by Philistines, his eyes were burned out and taken to Gaza, where he was forced to work at grinding grain." -- same as it ever was
	8:10am Dan S: Yes, Support WFMU! I'm planning to go to the Record Fair this afternoon.
	8:11am fred: ↳ Dan S @8:03 Obvious blind spot on display here (despite the helpful Rariohead hint): check out the French national anthem for an actual bloodthirsty song
	8:11am Handy Haversack: ↳ Dan S @8:10 I'll be there volunteering at the WFMU LPs table! Also: hello, Brian and all!
	8:13am Dan S: ↳ fred @8:11 That is true. I only recently heard an English translation of those lyrics. Another example I thought of is "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." Talk about a call for a Holy War!
	8:15am Brian D: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:11 Hello Handy! I'll be volunteering at the Fair on Sunday, myself.
	8:15am Juli: I save the little of spiders::::}
	⚡ 8:16am tom tom the pipers son: @brian: btw did you ever take a look at 'design and crime'...
	8:17am Dan S: ↳ fred @8:11 Another one that comes to mind is The Decembrists "This is why we fight." I can't decide whether to take it literally or ironically.
	8:17am Handy Haversack: ↳ Brian D @8:15 Me too! K8 and I will be at the $1 LP table Sun. afternoon. Figure I'll do my shopping Sunday, too, since it's going to pour today.
	8:18am MarginWalker in Baltimore: 👋🥸
	8:18am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:16 Not yet. But it's still on my to-do list!
	8:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~Good ♄Saturday FMUvianz~
	8:18am Brian D: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:17 You'll be taking over for me! I'll be there until 1 pm.

	8:22am fred: ↳ morphe' @8:20 You locals better be around to buy stuff or they might break into a song and dance musical bit
	8:22am Handy Haversack: Planning on the "Trust us. It's music." T-shirt for the $1 LPs table. That's called salesmanship.
	8:25am MarginWalker in Baltimore: I'd love to attend, but the commute is a bit much, especially considering I don't really have anything to spend at the moment😅
	8:25am fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:22 I got a second copy of this, never know when a TV crew might show up at work on short notice. The "Eat flaming death fascist media pigs" works to drive them away, but I need options
	8:27am SoCar Ken: Sounds like a dragging cassette
	8:27am Dan S: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:17 I hope it's not raining too hard when I make my way to Maspeth today. I also hope the roof of the Knockdown Center doesn't leak, LOL!
	8:27am Toothgrinder Tom: ↳ Dan S @7:50 Wagner’s ‘Ride of the Valkyries’ comes to mind (due to ‘Apocslypse Now’).
	8:28am Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @8:25 Ha, that's what I'm wearing today! And, yes, I wear one or the other for all local news / photo op occasions. Great minds, fred.
	8:29am morphe': ↳ Song: "Heed the Warning" by "Les Thanes" Macbeth... the Thane of Glamis Polanski's Macbeth is well worth watching
	⚡ 8:29am Will thee Sound Guy: Good morning Brian and all!!!
	8:30am Brian D: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @8:29 Hello Will!
	8:30am Toothgrinder Tom: ↳ morphe' @8:29 If I’m not mistaken, doesn’t Francesca Annis bare it all in that one?
	8:30am StringOFperils: Good morning Brian D and riders of the great derange
	8:32am Brian D: ↳ StringOFperils @8:30 Greetings, String.
	8:33am fred: ↳ Dan S @8:27 The "roof" of my workplace (it's underground, so more like a ground level veranda) does leak. Sometimes there's a radio interview going on, and sound people know where to put the console, though someone once commented live about it. The buckets have to be removed for TV shots, puddles are less visible but that makes for a big mess later
	8:33am Juli: ::::} Heading to the dentist soonish then home to finish film hopefully::::}
	⚡ 8:37am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Fables of the Silverlink" by "The Clientele" that riff... so familiar
	8:37am Bonnie Prince Jamie: This Clientele album - my record of the year so far
	8:39am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning Brian & all!
	8:40am Juli: Happy Saturday!
	⚡ 8:41am Will thee Sound Guy: ↳ fred @8:33 sounds like a nightmare... good that they know where it comes out from the ceiling tho
	8:41am Brian D: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @8:39 Hey Greg!
	8:43am fred: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @8:41 The good thing is that despite being underground, I know whether it is raining outside
	8:43am Robm: ↳ Juli @8:40 morning juli hope you have a great weekend
	8:44am owenm: Fables of the Silverlink!! What a thing of beauty. 🥰
	8:44am StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Fables of the Silverlink" by "The Clientele" Thumbs up, for The Clientele. I like their older material as well; there's a lot of musical exploration going on beneath the sweet pop surface.
	8:46am Brian D: ↳ StringOFperils @8:44 Isn't it lovely?
	8:47am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Atomic" by "Blondie" An' wi' tha', young Renton had fallen in love.
	8:47am Juli: Ty DJ!!! Lovely way to wake up!
	⚡ 8:48am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Atomic" by "Blondie" molroder -esque synth
	8:50am fred: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @8:41 Knowing the place is important, often an outside engineer wants to move the console, and when he's told why it's a bad idea he gets real stressed out
	8:51am sydnius: Been lurkin Thanks Brian! /lurk
	⚡ 8:52am tom tom the pipers son: thanks, brian!
	8:52am Juli: Getting all fancy for the dentist:::doing a mud mask rn:::: Picking out my outfit lol
	8:53am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Atomic" by "Blondie" It's been long enough since Trainspotting that pop culture can use the song again? I dunno ... Trainspotting seems iconic still to me.
	8:53am Dan S: ↳ Song: "Clip: WION-NASA launches 16 Psyche probe" I'd favorite this one if I could.
	8:54am fred: ↳ Juli @8:52 Don't distract the dentist!
	8:54am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Brian! Glad to have tuned in!
	8:54am morphe': ↳ Song: "Adam & Eve" by "The Boneheads" In Milton's "Paradise Lost" = Milton did not blame Eve .
	8:54am Juli: Lol they are very nice Indian ladies they love talking about what I look like lol
	⚡ 8:54am WR: Thank you for the morning news and views.
	8:55am Brian D: Hey all, thank you so much for joining me this week. Stay safe and have a great week. Pledge to WFMU. Hope to see some of you at the Record Fair tomorrow.
	8:56am ?: In the tall building Sit the head of our nations Worthy men from Spain and Siam All day discussions with the Russians But they still went ahead and vetoed the plan Now up jumped the U.S. representative He's the one with the tired eyes 747 put him in that condition Flyin' back from a peace keepin' mission And so it goes and so it goes And so it goes and so it goes But where it's goin', no one knows And so it goes and so it goes And so it goes and so it goes But where it's goin', no one knows
	8:56am sydnius: ↳ Juli @8:54 huh my fabulous dentist is also of similar origin. I don’t like to ask exactitudes for the same reason I never ask women I don’t know when the baby is due.
	8:56am morphe': Thanks BD and all !!! Can't make the Record Fair ... Enjoy all except the butt crack and the scent of Campbell's chicken noodle soup .. which is not on sale... just wafting about ...
	8:56am Dan S: ↳ Brian D @8:55 Thanks for the excellent show today, Brian. Everybody, have a great day!
	8:57am Juli: ↳ sydnius @8:56 Never ask when the baby is due :::} Because sum times they aren't pregnant
	8:57am Dan S: ↳ Juli @8:52 I hope it's just a routine exam/cleaning and nothing painful.
	8:57am Juli: Isn't nice:::anyway be nice everyone:: It's worthwhile:::}
